Best practice: Pilot your test

Launching a pilot test allows you to make sure that your test does what you intended.

1. Launch your test to a very small group, sometimes one participant may be enough.
2. Review the video to discover any challenges the participant encountered or places where your script could be improved.
3. Verify that your tasks are performing as expected.
4. Ask these five questions:
   • Do your tasks and questions make sense?
   • Are your questions answered adequately?
   • Were all required steps (For example, logging in to a specific account or interacting with the right pages) completed?
   • Are the links in the script functioning properly?
   • Do your screener questions find the right participants?
5. After answering the above questions, you may need to:
   • Edit your tasks.
   • Change your demographics. Remember, to change your demographics, you'll need to create a new test or create a duplicate test.
